In childhood food disasters, I learned that you cannot, in fact, make delicious coffee ice cream by putting ground coffee in vanilla ice cream and stirring like crazy.

Sorry. I try to keep my mom in the house but every once in a while, she sneaks out.

I know what you mean. Beauty isn't all that and it isn't everything. Even old fairy tales told this lesson. Today we seem to have forgotten this wise lesson. And positivity and beauty are not the same. We confuse beauty in itself as an achievement when it often is sheer luck of genetics. Someone like Aimee…

I'm Romanian and this video is not available in my country. But yeah we've probably seen worse.

Yeah, I understand that. I think this is partially in response to people becoming neutered in the eyes of others as soon as they have a disability, especially one that requires equipment like a wheelchair, cane, or walker. It's true that we make our first judgments of people immediately, based on appearance, even if…

That's what I get for getting drunk with power.

Not to rag on this project, because I can see how this might be inspiring to people with disabilities who struggle with self-image, but: I still have to question the narrative of "beauty," be it inner beauty or outer beauty or some ambiguous combination of the two, being a stand-in for a person's worth as a human…

My cousin studied abroad in Romania the year I started college, and one of the people in my orientation week group was Romanian, so I was telling him about my cousin. His response- Tell her not to get killed.

Is true. All winter, one potato, seven brothers.

I understand your surprise that the cops did their jobs in a sexual assault case but maybe the conversation went something like this....

I have dated two guys with disabilities before.

Totally! Whenever I see bees I put my hand next to them hoping they'll climb on it, and many times they do. In hundreds of encounters I've only been stung as a kid while messing around near a hive. Otherwise they're just happy-go-lucky. Especially the really fat fuzzy ones. Little fat bastards.

Yeah, I usually roll my eyes pretty hard any time I hear someone say "god told me to!", because there is like a 99% chance that whatever they're doing is hilariously batshit.

Romanians have always seen worse.

Disagreed! Bees - tolerable and a little cute. Hornets and yellow jackets - RUN RUN RUN.

I just wish more people were like your dad. If everyone did this, then the catholic church would be forced to take some sort of action, even just because their pews are rapidly emptying and they no longer benefit from the parishioners' money.

On a related tangent. Shit like that was why my dad is no longer Catholic. The final straw was when he found out an accused priest was transferred to our local church. My dad was furious, and removed us all immediately.

Panera is ludicrously overpriced, the portions are garbage, and (aside from the soups), everything tastes truly horrible.

I imagine that Penn Jillette would even approve of this.
